Most Americans are getting too much
sugar, and that’s partly because sugar finds its way into even the healthiest-sounding
foods. Lots of restaurants opt for cheaper ingredients that may contain added sugar. And many packaged foods contain
surprising amounts of added sugar, usually listed on nutrition labels as
maltose, dextrose, fructose, and other less obvious terms.

Today, the average American consumes 20
teaspoons of sugar a day — over twice what the American Heart Association recommends for optimal health for men, and over three
times what it recommends for women.

You might recognize celebrity
nutritionist and registered dietitian Keri Glassman of Nutritious
Life from her appearances on shows
like “The View,” “The Talk,” and “The Today Show.” Keri takes a “whole person”
approach to wellness, and a big part of that comes down to what you put in your
body.

She’s come up with some easy-to-make dinner
recipes that are nutritious, delicious, and free of added sugar. Check them out
below!

1. Grilled salmon
with roasted cauliflower

Ingredients:

5 oz. wild salmon filet

2 tsp. extra virgin, cold-pressed olive oil

1/2 tsp. pepper

2 cups cauliflower

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. sea salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to
425°Fahrenheit.

Pat salmon fillet
dry with a paper towel, and rub with 1 teaspoon olive oil and pepper to taste.
Place onto a nonstick baking sheet skin side down.

On a separate
baking sheet, break cauliflower into small florets and lay evenly in a single
layer. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle generously with remaining
pepper, garlic, and sea salt.

Place both trays
in the oven and allow to roast for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon
flakes easily with a fork and the cauliflower is roasted and slightly browned.

2. Turkey burger
with sautéed veggies

Ingredients:

1 tbsp. extra virgin, cold-pressed olive oil

1/3 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup bell pepper, thinly sliced

4 oz. frozen turkey burger, thawed

2 cups kale, chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

Directions:

Drizzle olive oil
into a nonstick pan over medium heat.

Add onion and
peppers and cook until tender and aromatic, about 5 minutes.

While veggies are
cooking, place the turkey burger in a clean, small pan over medium heat. Cook
until done, flipping halfway through, for about 5-7 minutes, or according to
directions.

To the veggies,
add kale and tomatoes, and cook until kale is wilted and soft, about 3 minutes.
Season veggies with sea salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer cooked
turkey burger to plate, top with sautéed veggie mixture, and enjoy!
